the power switch is 2 wires whereas the power led can be 2 or 3 pin connector so which are you actually talking about?

on page 17, system panel connector, you want the pwrbtn# & gnd pins which are side by side. those 2 are your power button pins.

I got the mother board working but now I'm not getting audio. Do I connect any jumpers and if so where and how many? This is for external audio.

External audio as in not the PC speaker or external audio as in a PCI sound card or external audio as in a USB sound card?

I don't recall audio having jumpers, just connectors that attach to the front audio ports.

The connectors? Well there's usually a bank of pins on the motherboard alongside the USB headers and Power switch/LED plugs.
This sort of thing:

Usually they're labelled but if you're not sure, your motherboard manual will tell you.

Right, well you should still get sound then, there aren't any jumpers or plugs involved. There isn't an option in the BIOS about it is there?

Wish I'd thought of that before! LOL never mind, I'd be surprised to see anything like sound being jumper controlled in this day and age.
